Well, it looks like Yahoo! has just launched a new social bookmarking and search competitor. I am personally not that surprised. The area of personalized search, bookmarking, and social networking has been heating up tremendously.
So, it was to be expected that the big boys are moving in. My first initial assessment is that Yahoo! has done a couple of things really well and a a couple of things quite poorly. I personally think that the user experience on Yahoo! is inferior to the user experience on blinklist, especially once we roll out the new features we have planned in the pipeline.
However, we cannot underestimate these guys. They have a TON of distribution so it will be that much more challenging to move ahead. If we succeed in building a great product it will spread and will just have to keep iterating and innovating faster than our friends at Yahoo!
Here is the link to the new yahoo social search engine.
Enjoy (blinklist) that is!
